Understanding freeradius

[RODOLPHE ANTONIO DE ARAUJO MARQUES]

Thanks

One more question, I need to access another module data 
structure, for instance I want to retreive the emsk key 
that the rlm_eap module creates and saves in the 
eapsim_keys structure, and save in a structure created by 
my module. Is this possible?
